This walk is in the past.
A walk along paths by the Avon and through woodlands and fields from Saltford. We pass Bath Spa University grounds and some sheep-strewn fields on our way out to Hunstrete, then wander back to Saltford via Compton Dando.
Not overly hilly - 270m of ascent & descent.
Other than sheep, there was a 'bull in field' sign, although there was no sign of the bull when I pre-walked...
There are some busy roads we'll need to take care crossing.
Some paths will be pretty muddy - boots/waterproof footwear recommended, and a change of footwear (or flamboyant socks?) if stopping in the pub for a drink at the end of the walk.
The parking areas on The Shallows have new signs restricting them to 3 hours maximum - as we'll take 5 hours or so, drivers will need to find on-road spaces on High Street or nearby side roads.
It's possible to travel by bus from Bristol/Bath Google suggests, or cycle and leave a bike at the back of the Bird in Hand pub.
Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.
